Power book G4 Leopard 10.5.8. File sharing preference checked but not working after start up until unchecked and the rechecked?

I hope the title is enough info, please ask. In the mean time I have created an applescript to open preferences/ sharing and uncheck then check the file sharing box. This works but I would obviously prefer it just work normally. I have no corrupt preference files. Perhaps a file is missing? Thank you.

Greetings Kwnez
I'm not up to your level of expertise yet. I'm networking and file sharing too, on my Mac Powerbook 1.33 GHz PowerPC G4; OS 10.5.8 Lepoard. At the public library I found by asking the clerk a book Authored by David Pogue. "Mac OS X Leopard the Missing Manual". It (the book) has helped me ask better questions. I'm not saying that your question "
Power book G4 Leopard 10.5.8. File sharing preference checked but not working after start up until unchecked and the rechecked?
is hard for me to understand, I went to system preferences and looked at the sharing box. when I clik it it opens up and the first thing I see is my computers name, and under that i see, " Computers on your local network can access your computer at: ...-powerbook-g4-15.local"
What I'm saying is "Are we on the same Page"

Personal File sharing is on but not working

This problem has been plaguing me for some months. When I try to access the problem computer on the network it will not show up until I turn off Personal File Sharing and then turn it back on. Then all works fine for several days until it doesn't work, and then I repeat the process (turn PFS off and then back on again) to make it work. I can't make an association with any third party programs that might be contributing to the problem.
I thought that the problem might go away with the purchase of a new iMac (10.4.10) and initialized with Migration Manager. Apparently, I imported the problem.
In the past I've tried restart with opt-cmd-P-R which works for awhile and then the process start over again. I've also tried dragged /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist to the trash and restarted.
Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this one? Is there a log file that might show when PFS is tampered with?
Thanks in advance.

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Also, if you trash those files again, and it re-occures again, I'd suspect RAM maybe.

File Sharing Between 2 iMacs not working on Leopard

My son and I have iMacs on a home LAN as part of a larger network comprising four computers. Prior to the last Leopard update (both iMacs are recent Intels with Leopard), we could reciprocally share content via the Finder under "Shared". Now, I can access his computer with no problems, but when he tries to access mine, the connection fails. I have read that this is a glitch of the Leopard update, but can anyone help? We are running the identical OS update, our Firewall settings are set for specific applications including AFP, sharing is set to "On", yet I can mount his HD but he can't mount mine.
It's driving us crazy! Why my computer shows up on his Shared menu under finder but doesn't connect after having done so prior to the first Leopard update tells me that something in the update may have screwed things up. Please help!

hi,
we just got another mac and i'd like to copy files between the two we now have. I enable file sharing on the source computer, it shows the 'public' and 'downloads' directorie as shared directories.
i can see this machine and these two directories on the secondary mac (the one i want to copy file to). the issue is, any additional directory i share in the source computer do not show on the secondary mac. i tried adding directories throug hthe file sharing screen and through 'get info' on a folder and marking 'shared folder' but nothing makes these folders show in the secondary computer.
i've tried disconnecting the secondary, reconnecting, nothing manages to refresh the list of shared directories.
am i missing an important step along the way? i'd like to avoid having to copy all my files to the 'public' folder just in order to share them.
thanks
You are connecting as a guest. To connect as an administrator, in the Finder either click connect as, or if you are already connected as guest, click disconnect and then click connect as.
A login window will appear. Enter the administrator username and password for the other machine and you have full access to all the files.

File sharing 10.8.2 not working

I have two macbook pros and a mac pro connected on a lan. two computers are running osx 10.6.8 (mac pro and mac book pro) and the third is running 10.8.2. (new macbook pro). The one running 10.8.2 can see the other two in the finder but will not connect to them after typing in password through "connact as" button. The two running 10.6.8 can file share between them no problem but get a connection failed message in finder when trying to connect to the 10.8.2 machine with the "connect as" button. Is anyone else having this issue?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work.

If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal.

Receiver File Channel is green but not working

Hi,
I have a service which receives the data form a sender channel and send the same data after content conversion to a reciever channel.
In the communication channel monitoring I can see the log for the sender channel and the processing log is displayed even if no file is there in the specified location for the channel to pick up.
For the Received channel, no processing log is being displayed and it is not processing the file even though the same service is being used.
What am i missing here?
Can you please advice?
Regards,

Hi! Archana,
Just check once again the below mentioned steps..even though u have configured correctly...
Do one thing..
1) go to Rwb > Component Monitoring>Select Adapter Engine> below that Select TEST MESSAGE tab-> there enter your PAYLOAD and also give your scenario details once again and try to test the scenario again.
2) You can also do the same test at the Integration Engine level instead of selecting Adapter ENgine u need to seleect Integration Engine ok
3) By doing this the PI Server will took the payload directly from the RWB instead of Sender ADapter so that you can come to know where exactly you strucked whether at adapter engine or Integration Engine level.
4) Also you can check your messages in the below URL at MEssage Display tool other than SXMB_MONI and RWB in detail..
[http://Host:Port/MessagingSystem/monitor/systemStatus.jsp]
5) Also monitor your message at Ingration as well as Adapter Engine level in Message MOnitonig at RWB.
6) Try to check both the queues at SMQ1 and SMQ2.
7) If possible refresh your CACHE once at SXI_CACHE.

Printer and File Sharing with Windows is not working

I have a MacBook Pro, Vista machine, and an XP machine on my network.
The MacBook Pro is running 10.5.2.
The Windows machines can see the MacBook Pro and access files on it, but I cannot see the Windows machines in Finder - thus I can't access the printers on those machines.
If I goto 'Finder> Go> Connect to Server' and enter smb://ipadress I am able to mount the shares and access them.
But obviously this does not help me with Printer sharing.
Any help is appreciated, but FYI I have been reading many suggestions and none have worked.

Go to "System Preferences/Security/Firewall" and change settings to: "Set access to specific services and applications". "File Sharing" and "Printer sharing" were already present for me, I don't know how to get them if they are not, and I don't know what the ramifications for security are. I can now see Windows computers and printers.

File sharing with MBP does not work

The problem is that I cannot connect to my first-gen MacBook Pro from my 2 Ghz Intel iMac in my own home network. I have tried opening all ports in the sharing menu without success. The laptop shows up in the finder window but no connection is made. There is not even an error message. It simply says (after a long while) that the connection failed. Nothing even happens when I try to click on the "connect as" button. This is true for file sharing and screen sharing. I can connect to the iMac from the laptop, ironically enough. I was able to connect both ways at one point. My set-up is as follows: airport express connected to modem/router; iMac and laptop connected wirelessly to airport express. Any ideas would be great. I am at a complete loss as the laptop has no other connection issues of any kind.
Update: I just got an error message for the first time: The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.

Connecting via "connect to server" in finder menu using afp does not work either. FYI. It just tries connecting for a long while and then gives me the following error (-36). The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://....." could not be read or written.

Lion SMB File Sharing with Windows 7 stops working after reboot

I'm running my macmini with lion 10.7.1. I have switched on File Sharing and ticked 'Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)' and ticked my user account. Using the same account name and password on windows and I can access the shares on the macmini fine.
Soon as I reboot the macmini the sharing stops working and Windows just prompts for a username and password. If I disable and enable file sharing again on the macmini then windows can access it again just fine, reboot the mac and it stops again, is this a bug in Lion or have I not got it setup correctly?

Whatever the issue is, it's still happening for me in 10.7.2

File sharing through i-tunes not working

I found out reciently that you could transfer files through i-tunes with particular apps. I have tried repeatedly but no file share option appears in app section of i-phone when connected to i-tunes. A friend of mine had the same app as me an is able to use file sharing but he has a mac instead of a pc. Would that make any difference. Any help would be great,
Thanks

File sharing should work on both Windows and Mac, but the app has to be designed to do it. As the same app works on our friend's iPhone all I can think of is that you don't have the same version of the app.

Relinking files through link checker does not work properly.

Good Morning:
I am using Dreamweaver CS6, and updating an old site (built in CS4). I have over 100 broken links to graphics which I am trying to relink through the "link checker" - will sporadic success.
I have to update this site yearly, with new product graphics.
When I try to update using the "check links sitewide" feature, I can update maybe two graphics, and then it will hiccup on the third attempt and REFUSE to relink to the new graphic I direct it to.
My computer specs are as follows:
Mac Pro
Processor 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
Any help would be appreciated.

My guess is that you defined the language used to check on one or a few number of words.
Select all the define the language to use.
I'm quite sure that, after that, it will do the trick correctly.

File sharing between macs oddly not working

I'm trying to share folders between two macs running Lion (at work so sharing is important) but the one computer doesn't connect.
The problem.
Mac1 is set up to share and appears in the shared list on Mac2.
When Mac2 tries to connect to Mac1, I have a Connection Failed with a pop up that reads
"There was a problem connecting to the server " 'Users' iMac".
Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If
you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator."
Mac1 can actually connect to the shared folders on Mac2 so there only seems to be a conflict 1 way..
I don't have any other alerts throughout the system that relates to IP address and Mac1's name is correct.
Really puzzled. My knowledge of IP address and problems with IP conflicts is limited so I'm not sure how to get things to work..
Hope you can help.

Can i find a file that was scanned but not renamed?

can i find a file that was scanned but not renamed?

Hi johnathong,
Did you scan the file directly into Acrobat, but didn't save it? If so, the file is most certainly lost, and would need to be rescanned.
If I misunderstood your question, please let me know.
Best,
Sara

Uploading Files Using InputFile Component -- Sometimes not working

Hello,
This is the 2nd time I make a post about it!
Because I have more than 1 application using upload, and everything is correct! But it doesn't work as it should!
You can check the original post here: Uploading Files Using InputFile Component - Sometimes not working
I need a solution please!
The only thing we can conclude is that it could be a bug from oracle !!! (???) But I talked with other people and they say that it works fine for them.
There is one important thing: when we put a form to "Uses Upload = true" it seems that the page doesn't work very normal. For exemple: if you use a table in a form that uses upload the table get's "crazy".
Thanks,
JP

I have now access to METALINK!
I can find some problems and patches about inputFile but not mine! I will check better later!
I think the problem is caused because of my framework!

? Why does my Photoshop PS2 open on my Mac Book Pro OS 10.6.8 Intel Core 2 Processor but not on my just purchased Mac Book Pro OS 10.7.3? On my new machine I get a message saying "You can't open Photoshop CS2 because Power PC applications are no longer supported". I don't have a Power PC on either machine and this App does run on the older machine with an Intel processor. benrusy

This is not new. The fact that Mac OS no longer supports PowerPC applications starting with OS X Lion has been known for over a year now. You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop
